This is great news! Hopefully the new footage contains some salacious red light district footage that was too hot for 1927!

That might come true! I just read yesterday some prostitute related scenes are in there that were deemed to juicy for US distribution. As I understood it, the only version available until now was the US distribution.

1927 was pre-code movies and some of those were fairly racy for their time. Now I don't recall the when the official US release was, so it could have been released post code which at that time racy scenes would have been cut.

Either way I hope they don't poke around or the release, restored or not I want to see the nearly complete film.

The movie I want more than any other in the world is 1914's Der Golem/Monster of Fate.

I haven't seen this one or the second Golem movie of Wegener's sort-of-triology, "Der Golem und die Tšnzerin/The Golem and the dancer". But while waiting for it, the third "part" is available at archive.org. (Der Golem und wie er in die Welt kam / The Golem: How he came into the world). Good one! But I have to admit I have seen it a couple of years ago on TV and not the internet archive stuff as I have yet to figure out how it works...
